Brief Description: Cut and prepared Rudder stiffiners
Alexsey (my Godson) and I prepared the sixteen rudder stiffeners according to the Vans instructions. I used my new belt sander to rough prep the edges to dimension after cutting with tin snips. Worked great and saved a lot of time. I found that some of the stiffeners weren't straight enough for me, so I lightly fluted the horizontal part of the rib. I did the fluting "outward" so if won't interfere as the two stiffiners nest when assembled. We'll see if this works later.
